even with them banning botters the dammage has already been done. without some kind of ladder a la diablo 2 the econ is just totaly screwed. weapons that cost billions of gold, aint no body got time for that.

Wonder what they're planning to do to make short games worthwhile. Doubt they're going Pindleskin direction again. I suspect something along the lines of making the first 5 elite packs drop a bonus/better loot. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's something amazing new and creative.

Im kinda curious if blizzard is going to do anything in the XP on MPx thing. would give people an incentive not to keep grinding low MPs.
Not that it have to be more xp overall than low MP, but atleast comparable,.

Unless they ban more regularly, it barely hurts the real botters. The casual ones that just do it because they're bored won't come back and barely affect the economy ... the serious ones have tons of accounts and make a shitton of money off the RMAH, enough to quickly buy more accounts to bot. I have no idea how they can fix that, but I sure would love it if they did!
